Frequently Asked Questions about Teaching Jobs
Is CTET mandatory to teach in government schools?
Yes, for classes 1-8 in CBSE-affiliated schools and central government schools (KVS, NVS, EMRS). State TET is the equivalent for state government schools.
What is the validity of CTET?
The CTET certificate is valid for a lifetime from the date of issue.
Can I become a college professor without PhD in 2026?
UGC norms now require NET-cleared candidates to register for a PhD within a fixed window. Assistant Professor posts at central universities allow NET (without PhD) for direct recruitment, but career progression requires a PhD.
What is the salary of a KVS PGT?
Pay level 8 (₹47,600 basic) — gross approximately ₹70,000-78,000 per month at metro postings, with full central government allowances.
Is B.Ed. mandatory to write CTET?
B.Ed. (or D.El.Ed. for Paper 1) is required for the final teaching appointment. Final-year B.Ed. students can write CTET to clear the eligibility.
